A peaceful rural stay in southern Tuscany

Many travellers look for a quiet base in southern Tuscany where they can relax, enjoy wide views and still reach the region’s highlights with ease. The Maremma offers exactly this mix: open countryside, birdsong, long evenings outside and a slower rhythm that is harder to find in the better known parts of Tuscany.

Why travellers choose peaceful rural stays in Tuscany

Guests usually want three things: space, nature and privacy. At Podere Sant’Angelo each of the one bedroom cottages has its own outdoor area and sits within a well kept Mediterranean garden. The surroundings are completely rural. You hear the wind in the oaks, not traffic. At night the sky is dark enough to see the Milky Way.

A peaceful setting should not mean feeling isolated. From Podere Sant’Angelo you reach Roccalbegna in about fifteen minutes, the Saturnia hot springs in twenty five minutes and the hill towns of Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano in forty minutes. This balance is what many couples and small families look for: calm at home, simple day trips out.

Walks, nature and slow days around Podere Sant’Angelo

The ridges and valleys around the property are perfect for short walks or full day hikes. E-bikes can be hired in Roccalbegna for guests who want to explore further without steep climbs. Your host enjoys hiking and is happy to suggest rewarding walks around the area. Many guests alternate activity days with slow days in the garden, reading in the shade or watching the birds at home in and around the garden.

Peaceful rural stays attract travellers who want to disconnect: couples, solo travellers, digital break seekers and small families with a child who enjoy space to play outside away from busy roads. It is also ideal for those who prefer independent accommodation with a private garden instead of a busy hotel setting.

Podere Sant’Angelo is a property in the Maremma with three one bedroom cottages, each with a private terrace or garden and views across the Albegna valley. It provides a restful countryside base for exploring southern Tuscany at your own pace. It is common to spot deer, foxes, badgers and even porcupines in the fields and woodland nearby.
